Pros

Sofar truly lives by its four key values: Teams Win, Ocean First, Challenge with Heart, and Ship for Opportunity. This has created a strong and reassuring backbone for the company as a whole as the business continues to grow and evolve. Sofar is tackling some huge challenges, and it's a great place to be if you care about the ocean or understanding our planet.

Cons

The Sofar team is a hardworking, driven bunch. It's definitely not a place to come and rest on your laurels. This might not be for everyone, but if the mission is something that appeals to you, then you're sure to have an opportunity to work hard and contribute towards that goal.

Ship For Impact 5. Grab An Our (Sorry, we just can't help ourselves when it comes to make ocean and water references)
